About HQMPC Heavy Duty Brass Shut Off Valve Garden Hose
Overall Feedback:
80% positive
68% liked the adjustable design, but 32% found it limited
The connector is adjustable as it allows flow control, not just on/off.
I tightened the screw holding the valve lever on both.
I am concerned that the internal flow passage in these valves is smaller than the hose and other fittings.
86% appreciated its corrosion-resistant materials, but 14% found it rusted quickly
I did not mention the corrosion resistance of the garden-hose-parts-connectors.
I suspect the levers broke off the first time I operated them due to corrosion or cold.
I expected a quality product since it was made of brass, but it did not meet my expectations.
76% appreciated its long-lasting durability, though 24% found it broke easily
The black plastic handle is the weakest part of the durability, which could affect the product's longevity.
83% appreciated the easy cleaning design
I can shut the valve, remove the spray nozzle, and open the valve in seconds with this connector, making it easy to clean the garden hose.
I appreciated the spare washers as a nice touch.
88% liked the hassle-free installation, but 12% found it confusing
The installation of the product is easy and can be hand tightened without the need for pliers.
I was pleased with the purchase and installed it. Initially, there was a slight drip in one connection to faucet, but it stopped after a day or two.
I had to get a second set of this product to put on the hose splitter at the spigot since it did not have inline valves and I did not need both hoses on at once.
The shut-off valves attach easily, do not leak and have excellent solid build quality.

72% praised for its secure grip, though 28% found it loose
After a couple of weeks of light use, the screw holding the switch came off along with the switch.
I use quick disconnects on my hoses and implements with internal shut-off valves. However, they have started to leak and require a lot of effort to reconnect. To solve this, I bought a two-pack of shut-offs to put on the end of each hose, right before the female disconnect. This allows me to shut off the water, bleed off the pressure, and connect/disconnect whatever as needed.
80% liked the universal hose compatibility, but 20% found it didn't fit their hose
The package includes 2 brass garden hose shut off valves and 4 pressure washers.
I bought these connectors to use with expandable hoses that did not have shut off valves.
When using the valve at the end of a hose, turn off the water supply.
74% praised for its leak-free performance, while 26% experienced some leakage
I noticed that the valve is nicely made but it leaks excessively.
I ordered garden hose connectors that leaked slightly. I replaced the o-rings and the leaking stopped.
I faced a leak issue when I installed the connector on my hose. I found out that it was overtightened.
I noticed that one of the valves did not close properly, causing it to spray water even when it was supposed to be closed.
One of the valves did not close properly, causing it to spray water even when it was supposed to be closed.

76% appreciated the high-quality materials, but 24% found them cheaply made
I expected a high-quality brass product, but it did not meet my expectations.
I am concerned about the material quality of the product, particularly the presence of lead in the brass water fittings. Since the product is from China, it is unclear whether it meets strict US guidelines for acceptable levels of lead.
